My parents both were professionals in the medical field. With both of them working, we lived a middle class lifestyle.
The households they grew up in were both single income blue collar, middle class households. My paternal grandfather worked as a foreman in the Park's Department--not THAT high paying a job, I imagine. My maternal grandmother worked as a Receptionist in a Hospital.
Yet, despite having what we'd consider together to be "low-level" jobs, my grandparents were able to support a family and give them a middle middle class (not lower or upper middle class, but comfortable) lifestyle.
Yet, today, if I was to work a blue collar type job, and if I had a wife and children, we would probably live a lower, lower middle class to almost low class lifestyle.
When did that change? Why?
